► Adolescent binge drinking upregulates danger signal receptors in adult brain. ► Binge ethanol exposure during adolescence increases HMGB1 in adult brain. ► Adolescent binge ethanol exposure leads to long-term reversal learning deficits. ► Alcohol-induced activation of danger signaling contributes...
